.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
This will display an interactive ASCII table, with the byte numbers and
|
|
descriptions. You can also build up raw ASCII output, which will be printed to
|
|
stdout when the program closes.
|

If any input is piped to \fBascii\fR, it will appear in the output buffer.

If decimal or hex numbers are passed as extra arguments, the corresponding raw
|
|
ASCII values will be appended to the output buffer after any piped input.
|
|
|
|
.SH CONTROLS
|
|
.B Navigating:
|
|
In the ASCII table, arrow keys or h/j/k/l can be used to navigate.
|
|
|
|
.B Editing:
|
|
You can use 'enter' to append to the output buffer and 'backspace' to delete from the output buffer.
|
|
|
|
.B Exiting:
|

\'q' or 'escape' will quit and print the output buffer. Control-c can be used
|
